So much hassle and wasted veg time for monster cropping... I hate it
Best way is as nmibud said-- take clones from plants in flower.
I only do it if I absolutely have to because it takes forever for them to fully snap back

Sorry not in the sig,
Here is a recap of my post on Monster Cropping.
This is a recap of this Barneys Farm LSD Pheno #5 Monster Crop.
A little history:
Ten Clones were taken during veg from a vertical grow that started on 10/4/17. That vert grow went into flower on 11/22/17.
At day 33 of flower I took 9 clones off of the 5 plants in flower, only one made it, pheno #5.
Well the vertical grow was harvested on 1/24/18, 24.5 zips, 1.08 G/W
Five of the clones that were taken on 10/4/17 went into the tent on and put into flower on 1/29/18, 5 plant horizontal grow. This was harvested on 4/2/18, 26.5 zips 1.18 G/W
That brings us to the star of this show, the Barneys Farm LSD Pheno #5, The Monster Crop.
Again this clone was taken at day 33 of 12/12 on 12/26/17 and vegged for 14 week under a T5 6 lamp fixture and natural sunlight plus 4 weeks in the tent under the two 315’s. Never want to do 18 weeks in veg again, waste of time and energy.
She was put into flower one 4/29/18 and harvested 61 days later on 6/30/18.
Twenty six days after she was cloned she finely started rooting so transplanted into Solo's, she was the only one to make it.
Fourteen days later and going through massive hormonal change to get back to veg.
4/29/18 flipped into 12/12
5/15, And elongation continues.
5/21 pruning day
5/28 recovered from the 21 day pruning and growing well.
6/04 Just moving branch to expose them to more light
6/11 minor pruning and retie.
6/17 Just watching her fatten up
Con't in next post.

Con't from previous post.
6/25
6/30 Harvest day
So after 4 days on the rack, one day in plastic bag to re-hydrate. After day back on the rack the buds were trimmed off the branches and jarred with a Boveda pack in each.
Weight in the jars 526 g's, 18.8 zips of trimmed smokable buds, and like I expected only 0.83 G/W. 18 plus zips off one plant ain't too bad but I really wanted to hit the G/W.
I believe had I had some experience in this style of grow I would have done better but, shit, I had no idea what I was doing during LST and trim, because she was so massive, so I probably over trimmed. Had I of had some form of netting to hold them up I probably would have trimmed less. This pheno was much different than #1 which was in the horizontal grow, it was more sativa like, long spacing between nodes, tall and stretchy but the nugs themselves are very hard and compact.
But live and learn, I am happy.
This is going to make some very nice FECO, I figure off 16 zips of buds and what ever the weight of the sugar leaf trim I should get around 60 to 75 grams of high quality oil.

I don't believe I would do this again unless I was in a legal state where I could do multiple plants and a MC would be one. I would love to do one outside, could truly be a Monster.
But having this thing take up months of veg time, then flower, not counting the amount of work involved in manipulating the bitch.
I am used to pulling 1 plus gram/W and can do this much easier.
